Chapter 183 First Real Boss Fight End

A large black flaming bird stood over us and spread its wings out while giving off an ear piercing screech. “Appraisal!”

[Lower Black Flame Phoenix (Summon)]

[Level: 90]

[Health: 500000/500000]

[Mana: 100000/100000]

Seeing the stats caused me to frown. It was already hard enough to fight the boss, but now we had basically a mini boss to fight as well. “Faith, leave the bird to me!” I heard Sophie yell out. I turned and looked at the fox girl who was standing there with her sword in hand, staring at the summoned creature.

The look of determination in her eyes filled me with confidence. I let out a long breath as I yelled out: “Everyone, listen up! We will fight the boss. Sophie is in charge of the bird. Grace, you are in charge of keeping Sophie alive! Sei, you are still on barriers! Don’t falter, and keep aware! Watch where you are standing in case of area of effect spells. And most importantly…. Kill this bastard!”

“Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!”

I heard the fighting spirit of my team and smiled. Everyone once again regained their composure and began our third assault on this stupid boss. I charged forward with Sally at my side. We both jumped through the air to get in position over the boss. But before attacking, I waved my hand and created another Gates of Faithylon, but this time, it was an ice version that was pointing at the summoned phoenix. I wanted to give Sophie as much cover as I could.

Once it was set, I turned my attention back to the boss, who looked up at me with blood shot eyes. It was definitely enraged. My guess is that it half expected to be able to rest. I am sure it never thought that we would leave one person to fight the monstrosity by themselves. But Sophie could easily use phase. No matter what that bird threw at her, she would come out unscathed.

But this did make my job slightly harder because I was acting as a healer for those fighting the boss.

As time ticked by each of our attacks were slamming into the boss, keeping it from being able to do much of anything. “Appraisal!”

[Boss Goblin Shaman]

[Level: 125]

[Health: 900000/1000000]

[Mana: 1000/900000]

It wasn’t much, but we were getting somewhere. The only good thing was that it seemed that summoning the phoenix had drained its mana to almost nothing. This meant that the boss was basically placing all its bets on the summon. “Go all out! The boss has barely any mana left!”

As I yelled this out, I created large spikes of ice and stone in the air and slammed them down onto the Boss.

“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!”

[Status: Bleeding]

[Boss Goblin Shaman]

[Level: 125]

[Health: 500000/1000000]

[Mana: 1000/900000]

One attack like that was enough to drop its health by four hundred thousand. It seems as long as you get rid of its barriers, the boss is weak to all attacks. Everyone was attacking left and right. I watched as the attacks were quickly draining the boss’s life. The boss was flailing about swinging its staff, trying to hit the melee, but luckily the boss was unable to hit anyone. Its aim was bad, and its movements were becoming sluggish.

[Health: 100000/1000000]

[Health: 60000/1000000]

“Take this! Mega Hammer!” Sally suddenly yelled out, causing me to look up. The rabbit girl was soaring through the air with a hammer ten times the size of the boss.

<strong>*Booom!*</strong>

[Gained 100000 XP]

A notification suddenly popped up in front of me. Seeing this, I let out a sigh of relief. But I did not lower my guard down yet. I turned to see how Sophie was doing but what I saw was a fox girl lying on her back, her chest moving up and down. Her hair was soaked in sweat all the way down to the tips of her tail with no signs at all of the summoned phoenix. “We….”

“We did it!” Steven shouted, causing cheers to fill the boss’s room. We really did do it. I stood in the air, looking down at the half squashed boss and then at everyone else, and smiled. We defeated the odds. We survived what should have killed us. This sense of victory felt…. Amazing!

The last thing I would have ever expected was to be tossed into an even more fantasy style setting. Dungeons and bosses. The feeling of victory when you take down the boss you spent so much energy fighting. But here we are, each one of us alive and well. While some had minor injuries, it was nothing compared to the thought of what could have happened.

I landed on the ground and walked over to the boss, that began to turn into balls of light and froze. My eyes lit up…. “Shiny!” I don’t know what came over me, but as soon as I saw the glittering gem lying on the ground, my body moved on its own as I reached out and grabbed the shiny object and hugged it as if protecting my most precious. It was a blue gem, unlike anything I had ever seen before. “Appraisal”

[System Stone]

[Consumable]

[Gives one person a system.]

[Systems allow one to gain new skills by using skill points. It also allows one to gain status points upon leveling up and unlocks hidden potential.]

Seeing the information, I quickly stored the stone and took out a stone from my inventory that looked just like it. I hate to say it, but I was unsure of what to think about this stone. Luckily my attraction to shiny objects allowed me to pick it up first.

In a way, it was like the evolution stone, which I have not seen since that day. It made me worry that the wrong people would gain such systems and throw the current world power balance out of whack. I looked down to make sure there were no other stones, but other than some armor and weapons there was nothing else.

“Faith?” Adel came running up to me with a worried look. I pursed my lips and held the stone in my hand a bit tighter. “I am not going to take it away, I was just checking to see if you were okay. You have been firing off magic left and right this entire time, not to mention your arm….”
